Starbucks Summer 2026 Menu: New Drinks, Refreshers & S’mores

The Starbucks summer 2026 menu is one of the brand’s most colourful line-ups in years, leaning hard into tropical fruit, coconut, and a nostalgic favourite that hasn’t been seen since 2020. If you’ve been wondering what’s actually new at Starbucks this summer, here’s the full rundown, in the order the drinks rolled out.

What’s new on the Starbucks summer 2026 menu

Starbucks staggered its summer launch across several drops rather than one big reveal. Here’s everything at a glance before the details.

Tropical Refreshers take centre stage

The season kicked off on May 12 with the Tropical Butterfly Refresher. It blends passionfruit and guava flavours with chewy mango-pineapple pearls, then adds a splash of butterfly pea flower infusion that gives the drink its striking natural purple colour. It’s easily the most photogenic drink of the summer.

Alongside it, the horchata line returned and expanded. The Iced Horchata Shaken Espresso came back by popular demand, joined by a brand-new Horchata Frappuccino for anyone who prefers it blended and frosty.

The Blue Coconut drinks

On June 16, Starbucks leaned into the “blue drink” trend. The Iced Blue Coconut Matcha layers iced matcha with toasted coconut cold foam, mango, and blue spirulina, while the Blue Coconut Refresher mixes coconut, strawberry, and açaí flavours with that same eye-catching blue spirulina.

S’mores is back after six years

The nostalgia play of the summer: the S’mores Frappuccino returned on July 1 for the first time in six years, with Starbucks Rewards members getting early access on June 30. It arrived alongside a new S’mores Cold Brew topped with marshmallow cold foam.

Blended Energy Refreshers (from July 14)

Rounding out the season, the new Blended Energy Refreshers join the menu on July 14, in Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade and Mango Strawberry Lemonade. They’re blended with ice and real fruit pieces, and you can customise the energy level.
